The Hyson Green Methodist Free Church is an old Methodist church building. It is located in Hyson Green, Nottingham, at the corner of Noel Street and Gregory Boulevard. Today, it is known as the Hyson Green Community Centre.
History of the Building
How it Started
The building of the church began a long time ago. The first stones were put in place on October 21, 1895. It was designed by an architect named Frederick W. Dixon.
The people who went to the church needed a bigger place. Their old chapel on Lindsay Street was too small for everyone. So, they decided to build this new, larger church.
Construction Details
A builder named John Lewin, from Netherfield, was in charge of the construction. The front of the church has a special look. It is covered with red tiles called Ruabon Terracotta. It also has decorative stone from Darley Dale.
Changes Over Time
After being a church for many years, the building changed its purpose. It was later used as the Hyson Green Girls' Club. This club provided a place for girls to meet and do activities.
Today, the building is known as the Hyson Green Community Centre. It serves the local community in many ways. It is a place where people can gather for different events and activities.
